Game development cost and content?
So I was thinking about something. I think at least from sims 2 all the packs have stayed the same amount of money. If not please correct me as I started playing on Sims 3. Was sims 1 also the same...

Honestly sometimes I think the game packs are more interesting and well developed than the EP's. I would pay 50 for and EP if they actually did MORE with t they have in Sims 4.
But it wouldn’t make sense to me if EPs costed more than the base game (which currently has the same price as EPs).
Also, if the cost of game development really increases over time, as technology progresses, and TS5 does eventually come out -provided it would be a more advanced version of the sims- how much would we have to pay for an EP in this version in order to catch up with its predecessors, content-wise?
It really depends on what the sims 5 will turn out to be. One reason why game development costs have gone up is because games are becoming more advanced, so I would assume that the sims5 would be more advanced when it comes out.
This is why publishers are trying to sell special editions, offer preorders and microtransactions to cover the huge costs with making a video game. The sims5 could cost anything between $10 million to a $100 million to make depending on how long they are going to work on it.
AAA games cost $60 these days, I would expect the sims 5 to cost that much if they are going to put in as much effort into making it as other game developers are putting into making their games.
